Ballacregga
Medieval burial ground.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows the site of a chapel and burial ground at Ballacregga farm, together with the annotation, 'Chapel & Burial Ground (Site of)'. The burial ground is shown as a raised mound.
The OS particulars noted, 'To the immediate E of Ballacregga is the site of an ancient Chapel and Burial Ground....The enclosure is all that is now traceable. Authorities: Mr T Quinney; Mr R Cowin, Ballacregga; Mr W Moore, Ballavilley; Dr Oswald, Douglas; Oswald's Vestigia.'
The Manx Archaeological Survey (1918) noted that the enclosure was less well defined than at the time of the OS.
It is today still possible to make out the enclosure as a combination of earthwork banks and cropmarks. The site is now somewhat overgrown in places.
